Yes ofcause
Just remember that it will wipe your system partition completely..so you will not have a rom to boot into..keep a ROM in hand to flash after you flash this zip..

You have to use cwm to restore. As posted above you might need to root.

Probably a corrupted sdcard, save important files to the pc and format the card from the phone. Place the files back, see if you are rooted and if not reroot with CF-Root and try again. Do not superwipe this time.Just do data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache and format system and data in mounts and storage.
Hello, sorry for reviving this old thread, but it seems that this would be a logical place to ask if it's recommended to do a super wipe before every non stock ROM flash.

No. Just wipe data, cache, dalvick, and format system.
I used CF auto root and then installed CWM 6.0.2.7 to install the CM10.1 rom. I copied gapps and cm10.1 on my external sd card but when I tried to install it I got an error, and now my phone is stuck on boot.
Please Help!!!

Which is the best way to delete all stupid files? I mean files from previous rom. If i do all wipe the files are still there. My free memory on my Sola 95 MB! How can i do? When i connect to usb i see the folders but in some folder there aren't files. I tried speedy droid but i don't think so it's what i was looking for.
Sorry for my bad english

Hi,
its up to you! or you reflash your rom but in CWM when you are about to do wipe factory default you can go in mount/unmount menu u will see format sd card but to do that u need to flash rom from flashtool cuz if u format sd card u wont find back zip file to reflash then if u need space from ram take a task killer and don t forget to make wipe cache and dalvik cache when, rom is installed.
hope it ll help :victory:

Well i don't think i can do it with flashtool, i mean, i have a locked bootloader. So what can i do? i move the rom to sd, then enter on CWM, wipe before install rom, and after...when have i format?

Hi...
Not sure bootloader unlocked or not, have something to do with flashtool
You can flash a stock rom and a stock kernel with flashtool without unlocking your bootloader,
BUT you CANNOT flash custom roms and custom kernels with locked bootloader!
So youre right you move rom to sd, you reboot recovery mode; then you wipe factory default, wipe cache,
then you reboot recovery mode install zip from sd card select your rom and wait
IF the wipe erase the rom from sd card (wich i really don t think so) then you install flashtool
and you flash rom from it but the rom that you gonna flash with that soft has to be a .ftf file
but you not there do the first step then tell me what happens

Yes but i don't like ics it's not smooth enough imho, i just did for free memory Now i can install cm9, my favourite one (works great insteat my bootloader is locked)

U have to flash a custom kernel! Anyways tell me where u saw u can do that please

This is a flashable Stock 14.1.B.1.510 Taiwan rom. It is Deodexed and rooted. Install it in CWM. You can use this as a base for your rom. No need to ask. Share it and modify it and lets start some custom roms.

It is great to be the first reply
Great Job

First unlock your bootloader then flash via fastboot this kernel. When booting press volume up and you are in recovery.

can i flash 475 HK ?
Will it wipe DATA and/or Internal Storage ?
I tried to flash, but the program said "waiting for device".
What does this mean, I don't have unlock bootloader? or I'm on 475?

yes you need to have unlocked bootloader ( make sure you backup TA before unlocking ) then flash this recovery and flash the rom in cwm.

it will wipe system only. just do a wipe fty reset, wipe cache and dalvik. i did /data too.. and flash the rom.
no need to wipe internal sdcard and the rom will not wipe internal data

Impossible.. I've flashed the rom a few times and it does not wipe data on sdcard.. Did you do it manually in recovery?

Hey!
simple question!
which of these measures wipe the INTERNAL memory? ((T or F))
- Stock ROM from ODIN
- Stock ROM from ODIN with PIT repartition
- Wipe Data/Catch
- Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP?)
- Custom Kernel
And thanks in advance.

1 Stock ROM from ODIN: depends on in which ROM you are, you you are in any other tom than official than you need to wipe after flashing else you will be stuck in bootloop
2 Stock ROM from ODIN with PIT repartition: wipes everything because you are re-partitioning the internal memory.
3 Wipe Data/Cache: will wipe you data and cache both
4 Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP?) if you mean flashing custom recovery than the answer is no, it won't wipe anything..
5 Custom Kernel: It too wont wipe anything..
I hope you have got all of your answers..

Depends if u are on stock or custom recovery. The stock recovery will delete everything. Custom recoveries will not delete ur music, dcim, pictures, download folders.
